The Mentz

by Bert LaVey

Memez are extraterresial beings from another planet that conquored earth in 2025 AD.

I am leaving this recording for you in hope that maybe there is still someone or some group out there that can still save us. Maybe a family survived like in the days of Noah.

It started like any other ordinary day in Santa Barbara. I had a successful Hair salon that had branched out into two other locations and I being the owner could now spend mose of my time in leisure and still live fat off the hog.

Being in my 30's didn't hurt at all either, for I was still young enough to enjoy the fruits of my profits. I had a nice girlfriend, a little demanding but she made up for that in other ways if you know what I mean. My house was almost paided for and I found it cheaper to lease cars then buy them so I was with the newest and latest model car each year. It was good for business, for it is true you must LOOK successful to be successful, even if you aren't. But I was and life was sweet, till my mother got sick.

My mom refused to live in a Nursing home even if I paid for it which I was willing to do, so she lived in Lompoc in a one bedroom apartment she had been in for over 30 years. They really liked her there and remodeled her place several times free of charge.

My mom was cool at 64 years old. She mainly walked around the neighborhood and passed out those awful chich tract to make sure you were really when Jesus came back. Since my mom had done this for years, people knew just to take the tracts, agree with her as best you could and you were out of there without a sermon.

"Now I know you want to have sex relations and smoke the devil's luttuce, and but your trust in money, but it s JESUS that you need in your life, that's all, just JESUS and everything will be alright!" 

Mom was so innocent and lovable everybody loved her and let her have her way throug the neighborhood. Even the atheist kids would take her tracs and agree with her before dumbing them into the trash cans.

"What makes me the maddest is that the doctors have no idea HOW she contracted this unknown disease. They say it looks like a cancer spot on her liver, a big cancer spot and it is spreading rapdily, so fast that they cannot even estimate a time and date to do surgery on her if they still can." I was talking to my girlfriend Annette.

"And there were no other symptoms till now?"

"Yeah, all of a sudden mom just started acting like she was in a diabetics seizure and they had to hospitialize her, that is when they found this cancer like shit but they have no idea what it is and they said they never seen anything like it before."

A homeless man approached us with a big doomsday sign. "The end is near. Prepare yourselves, prepare yourselves! Monsterous alien spaceships big as the empire state building are going to invade us! Big, hugh, flying saucers and we are doomed! Doomed! DOOMED!"

The waiter asked the man to move on. We sat at the patio of a nice resturant.

"You going to go see her tonight?" Annette asked.

"Yeah, even though she is in a comma right now, I'm gonna act like she is conscious and go see her, maybe that will help."

"Do you want me to come along?"

"I thought you never ask." We grinned at each other and left the resturant.

We walked back to Annette's car and sure enough there was Josh inside. We all liked Josh, but Josh being the urious nine year old boy that he was loved science and made sure you loved it too, or at least whatever new discovery he found for the day. It was kind of funny, for Josh was a walking science teacher and even the scinece teachers would help him with articles they though he might understand in science. But Josh could talk your ear off...

"Uncle Brewster!" Josh said when he saw me. I thinked he liked me because I would listen the longest to his latest discovery with no interruptions. "Man we learn a lot about cancer today." He said. "He did have my interest this time. I did not know if he knew about my mom having it or not, it had not been that long.

"Man did you know they are like an army that is out of control. YOu see, your body cells , grow, matures and dies just like people do. If you top the cells from dying as in the form of canerous cells that keep on multiplying and multiplying with no end you now have cancer of the body. They disturp the apoptosis system's cell-cycle and arrest program and instead of the cells dying out like they should be become 'immoral' and live forever. Of course, you will die, but everything is trying to survive. It would be like the same on earth, if people did not die we would eventually go extinct."

"Now Josh, don't talk Brewster's ear off."

"It's OK", I said, like I always said, but I meant it, for some reason it seem like I was suppose to hear that.

Annette and I went back to the hospital to check in on mom who was sleeping in a comma as peaceful as she could be which helped me not to worry. I asked the doctor if there was any new information and she said 'No', the doctor would not even be back until the next morning. Typical.

"One of my favorite science fiction movies is Nights of the Triffids! Remember everyone was looking for these aliens to fall from the sky in big spaceships and they were already here as moving trees!

And "Invasion of the Body Snatchers!' That was really boss! Remember! They were plant pods! And they were slowly replacing the human race. No big war or fight. Just a slow and sweet takeover in the night.

"Josh, don't talk so much, give people time to digest what you say. You're a pretty smart boy you know." Annette told her little brother.

"Yeah, I know!" Josh said to her and to me, "Got any gum?"

The next morning I was up bright and early and at the hospital checking my mom out real close-up.

I didn't believe she was infected by aliens but I think that maybe she came across some external substance or something that might had infected her. I was looking for anything that might be out of the ordinary when my mom stood up in the bed and opened her eyes. He mouth moved but it seemed as though it was controlled by an invisible puppeteer.

"Good morning Brewster, we have been waiting for you."

I shit my pants and backed up quick hitting the wall hard.

My mom was talking and yet I could tell it was not really her.

"We are the memez. We come from another galaxy obvisiously and we are taking over your planet seeing how you are rich in water and minerals we evenutally feed on. Yet, these dull, fleshy bodies that you humans have, we have no need of, in fact, they make great food.

On our planet we are called the Great Menez for we are the largest thing on our planet compared to everything else.

Here on our tiny earth we appear microscopic, like GERM. A very deadly germ! As you can see we are eating your mother alive as we speak now.

But we are going to spare some of your human life. Let's say those of who who make a positive contribution to mankind. Some of your scientists and teachers. And you of all people have been selected to live also. It was no consequense that it was your mom who got infected."

"I've been selected to live?" Suddenly I was caught up in this conversation even as a dark stain was creeping up my mom's feet and legs turning everything a charcoal black.

"Yes, you are one of a few million people on this earth that really cares about the people and the planet. We need people like you in our new world and you can take Annette with you for we know you will not go without her."

This was all happening too fast.

"Yes, I try to be kind to all people and..."

"Shut up! We just want you to tend our marijuana gardens till we build robots to take over your jobs."

I dared not asked him what happened to us when that occurred.

"YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS!" I screamed, yeah, just like in the movies."

"Oh yeah!?" mom said, and she looked at me like she never looked at me before.

She got out of bed and walked passed me.

"Excuse me, I will be right back!"

Then mom in her hospital gown and black slimy like legs began to kill everyone in sight.

She hit one nurse so hard she broke her neck instantly. Then she attacked a doctor and shoved his pens into his eyes. While he was screaming she grabbed a patience and and stuffed a stapler down his throat and then threw another nurse out the window.

"That's to make sure the police arrive." mom told me in her alien voice.

I didn't move and the cops did arrive.

They surrounded mom and when she lunged at them they opened fire and dropped mom where she laid. There was blood everywhere.

"DON'T MOVE!" They told me as if that was necessary.

"She was an alien!" I screamed. A fucking alien. Thank God you killed her. They were going to take over the world!"

"Don't move!" The cop said a bit closer to me. He was in his microphone, 'copy we seem to have a black kid up here high on marijuana or something, says we just shot an alien."

Suddenly mom's hand grabbed the cop nearest me and pulled him to the floor where she took a big chunk of meat out of his leg.

The other cops open fire on her again as the other dead bodies mom killed began to rise and eat flesh.

Mom looked up at me with her blood soaked mouth and said, "You better run, this is far from over. And think about what I said." She hit the cop she bit in the chest stopping all movement.

I took off like a bat out of hell. I ran out of the hospital and got in the car where Annette had stayed with Josh this time.

"How is mom tonight? She said. "And did you see all those police cars?"

"I'll tell you later!" I said as I floored it accidently hitting the man waiting for the big flying saucers to invade.
